Version 9 romeo mod

Carried this out last nite. Very easy to do. Used a scalpel to cut through lba chip leg, lifted leg and soldered wire. Took about 10 mins, well worth doing.

Have noticed that sum sites are now selling replacement lba chips but not worth taking the risk!

yeah its pretty easy and like you said well worth it.

The way I do it is by pushing pin 17 to one side gently while I heat the pin with the iron. I push the pin with an exacto blade. Then once I see the pin is loose from the board I wedge the blade behind pin 17 and the next closest pin and gently pry it up. When I have just enough room between the pin and the board I take my tweezers and lift it the rest of the way. I also us the tweezers to flatten the bends out of the leg once it’s parallel with the mobo. I then us my DVM to make sure the pin isn’t connected to the pad I just lifted it from or the next closest two pins. Then I solder the wire for the 5V source. Easy as that.
